The Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ is crafted using premium North American Basswood, a high-quality wood known for its durability, stability, and comfort. Basswood features a light, clean appearance with a naturally smooth finish and dense cellular structure that helps resist sweat, cracking, and splitting over time.
It is also considered hypoallergenic and has very little natural odor, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitivities or those seeking a cleaner, more comfortable wellness environment.
Many people assume that heat is not suitable for Halotherapy, but the real concern is humidity—not temperature. In traditional salt rooms or caves, the environment is usually kept cool to help maintain low humidity levels. When moisture in the air becomes too high, the microscopic salt particles can attach to the moisture, reducing their effectiveness.
Abbott HaloBooth™ uses infrared technology, which produces a dry heat rather than humid heat. Because there is minimal moisture involved, the salt particles remain effective and can continue to circulate properly throughout the session.
Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ units are designed for indoor use and should not be directly exposed to outdoor weather conditions or environmental elements. If you plan to place the unit outside, it must be installed within a protected structure or enclosed shelter.
For the best performance and longevity, the HaloSauna™ should be placed in an indoor environment with controlled humidity levels, as excessively high humidity can affect the overall effectiveness of the system.
Abbott HaloBooth™ systems are designed for simple and hassle-free installation. Most units, including the HaloIR™, can typically be assembled within 2–4 hours by two people with basic assembly experience.
Each system includes a detailed step-by-step installation manual to help make the setup process smooth, straightforward, and user-friendly.
Yes, when combined with dry heat, Halotherapy can become even more effective. Warm, dry air may help support deeper penetration and improved absorption of salt particles within the respiratory system, particularly in the bronchi.
Abbott HaloBooth™ systems are designed to combine Halotherapy with gentle infrared heat, helping enhance both the overall experience and the effectiveness of the therapy while maintaining a comfortable wellness environment.
The Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ offers multiple wellness therapies designed to work together for a complete and enhanced wellness experience, including:
- Salt Therapy
- Infrared Sauna Therapy
- Heated Salt Therapy
- Heated Salt Therapy with Infrared
- Aromatherapy
- Chromotherapy
Each therapy setting and session protocol has been carefully tested and developed to help maximize comfort, effectiveness, and overall wellness benefits. Both the sauna system and halogenerator have been custom-engineered to work together seamlessly, creating a balanced and synergistic experience that enhances the benefits of each modality.
Unlike traditional saunas that primarily heat the air around you, the infrared technology in the Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ is designed to heat the body directly using infrared energy. Traditional saunas often operate at very high temperatures, while infrared therapy focuses on gently warming the body’s core more efficiently and comfortably.
As the body absorbs infrared heat, it naturally responds by increasing circulation, stimulating the lymphatic and cardiovascular systems, and encouraging a deep, cleansing sweat. This process helps create a relaxing wellness experience while supporting the body’s natural recovery and detoxification processes.
To maximize effectiveness, the Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ is engineered with strategically placed heaters surrounding the body from multiple angles — including the front, back, sides, legs, and feet. This full-body heating approach helps provide a more balanced and immersive infrared wellness experience.
The Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ is designed to deliver a more advanced and complete wellness experience by combining multiple therapies in a single integrated system, offering greater versatility and enhanced results compared to standard Halotherapy setups.
It combines two highly effective wellness modalities in one session, helping maximize the overall experience and synergy between treatments. The addition of low-level heat further enhances the effectiveness of Halotherapy while also delivering the full benefits of a complete infrared sauna session.
As a true multi-therapy system, the HaloSauna™ provides a more flexible and premium wellness offering, giving users multiple treatment options in one unit and creating a more comprehensive and elevated wellness experience.
Most Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ units are designed to work with standard household electrical outlets, making installation simple and convenient.
The 1–2 person model operates on a standard 110–120V outlet with a 15-amp requirement, while the 2–3 person model also uses a standard 110–120V connection but requires a 20-amp circuit.
We always recommend reviewing the specifications of your selected model to confirm electrical requirements and ensure proper setup for safe and optimal performance.
Most Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ units run on standard household outlets. The 1–2 person model uses a 110–120V, 15-amp connection, while the 2–3 person model requires a 20-amp circuit. Always check your model’s specifications to ensure proper setup.
In the Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™, the infrared output is carefully optimized based on the surface temperature of the heaters, which directly influences the quality and wavelength of the infrared energy produced. Lower, controlled surface temperatures generate longer infrared waves, which are considered more effective for the body’s absorption.
The True Wave™ far infrared heaters operate at an ideal surface temperature of approximately 180–200°F, producing high-quality infrared heat within the beneficial range of 6 to 12 microns. A significant portion of this output aligns around 9.4 microns, which is widely regarded as an optimal absorption range for the human body.
By combining ceramic and carbon infrared technology, the True Wave™ system delivers a balanced output of both strong infrared intensity and long-wave penetration, creating an efficient and effective infrared wellness experience.
At Abbott HaloBooth™, your health, safety, and peace of mind are always a top priority. The HaloSauna™ is designed using advanced True Wave™ far infrared heater technology to ensure efficient performance while maintaining low electromagnetic exposure.
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) refer to energy waves with frequencies below 300 hertz, while Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) relates to electric field ranges typically between 3 to 30 hertz. The HaloSauna™ is engineered to keep both EMF and ELF levels as low as possible for a safer wellness experience.
Testing shows that EMF levels remain very low even at the heater surface, while at the seating position they are virtually negligible. ELF levels are also maintained well below commonly accepted safety thresholds, ensuring a comfortable and worry-free experience compared to many standard infrared sauna systems on the market.
The Abbott HaloBooth™ HaloSauna™ is designed for low-maintenance use, requiring very little upkeep for both the sauna enclosure and halogenerator. Since the system uses dry heat, moisture buildup is minimal and mainly comes from natural perspiration during use.
The enclosed design helps reduce dust and debris, making it easier to keep the unit clean. For routine care, simply treat the exterior like fine furniture and wipe the interior occasionally using a soft cloth and a mild sauna-safe cleaning solution. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto heater panels.
After each session, it is recommended that users sit on a towel and place one under their feet to maintain cleanliness. Any excess moisture can be gently wiped away, and the unit can be aired briefly by cracking the door or vent if needed. Glass surfaces should be cleaned with a dry cloth for best results.
For deeper cleaning, a vacuum attachment can be used to remove dust, and optional waterproof bench pads can help protect seating areas. Any minor perspiration marks that develop over time are normal and do not affect performance, and can be lightly cleaned when needed.
Yes, infrared heat is considered safe and is commonly used in wellness and medical environments. Infrared is a natural form of heat energy that all objects both emit and absorb as part of everyday life.
In fact, similar infrared heating technology is used in hospitals to help gently warm newborn babies, which reflects its safe and controlled application. When used properly, infrared heat provides a comfortable and soothing wellness experience.
Yes, infrared and salt sauna experiences can be safe for children when used appropriately and under supervision, and when there are no underlying health concerns. Because infrared saunas operate at lower ambient temperatures compared to traditional saunas, many children find them more comfortable.
It is generally recommended that children are able to communicate how they feel before using a sauna, so they can express if they are too warm or uncomfortable. Sessions should always be kept shorter and at lower intensity levels, with close adult supervision at all times. Proper hydration before and after use is also important.
At Abbott HaloBooth™, safety is a top priority. Our systems are designed with advanced True Wave™ infrared technology and low EMF/ELF output, helping create a controlled and comfortable wellness environment suitable for a wide range of users when used responsibly.
